Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
| Description | The work is focused on the rhizosphere and how this is adapted by roots to confer drought tolerance and resistance. Our australian partners have found promising results for chick pea and this is being tested further by the UK team for UK relevant crops |
| Exploitation Route | Not as yet but we will share the results with plant breeders |
| Sectors | Agriculture, Food and Drink |
